Chapter 17. Deploying SSL Server Certificates

This chapter describes how to create and install SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates using the Open SSL implementation and the Apache mod_ssl module on the FreeBSD operating system. (See Chapter 5 for basic information on SSL. See Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 for information about digital certificates.) We will also show you how to get a certificate that is signed by the VeriSign certification authority. The process is decribed in detail to give you a feel for how the mechanics of the process work. However, as it is likely you will be performing this process with different software than described here, refer to your own documentation before beginning the procedure.
